Ok, before I get into that I must admin that I never developed one, just read through the http://www.rubyonrails.org/ - documentations and looked at example apps. So I of course might be completely wrong. In any case it's just a personal opinion...
But... from reading the docs, the language itself is as outdated as prolog or perl. You have almost no oo-concepts, and all co-concepts are missing completely. Sure you can write a webapp in perl, but who does it? Only people who are already programming perl for years, and even they are giving it up. Alone the fact that you have no chances for proper getter and setter (and the hidden overriding concept will be a debugging disaster :-) ) disqualifies RoR for usage in teams. And for a one man show... if you are a java expert you will be better with java, otherwise take php, it's easier to learn, has more features, more support, more examples, more whatsoever... So where is the place of RoR in the web-world? just my 2cents :-) leon On 2/20/06, Garner, Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>But you can't develop and you have no chance to maintain a serious > >>application with it. > > Can you go more into this? > > Shawn > > -----Original Message----- > From: Leon Rosenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 2:03 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: [OT] Ruby on rails VS Java Based Web Applications > > Well RoR is a wonderful thing if you are playing.
